#2 is coming...


One reason I have been behind on everything...being pregnant. We are really excited to add to our family. I'm sure most people already knew but, just in case...

Lacey- I've announced. Are you happy now?

Gotta Love Grand Junction

It is very hard to be in Colorado without any of my side of the family. I won't begin to mention the horrible shopping selection. However...all that said...there are some really great things about where we live. Within 5 blocks we have an awesome park and city pool.

Family night this week was so fun! For only $1 Izzy can play in the toddler water park. We brought in a Little Cesar's pizza and made a night of it. Izabelle is so has no fear and lunges for any spout of water!

Chad humored me and took her in the wading pool. Do you think she likes it?







Within 4 blocks the other direction we have the city Library. Today was Hunk-ta-Bunk-ta singing time. Izabelle was mesmerized, and eventually got up and showed off her dancing skills. And it's free!


We went exploring this past weekend. We ended up at Vega Lake, about 1 hour away. It was so pretty! We plan to go camping in the near future (especially if Jacob comes...hint, hint, hint) and fish. The water was cold but as you can see Izabelle could have cared less. We had a great week!

Our Izabelle Turns 1!!

We cannot believe how the year has flashed before us. It truly seems like yesterday I was pregnant with Izabelle. We also cannot believe how much she has changed our lives. There truly is no better joy than to watch your infant grow and learn.

Izabelle is a good seed! From the time we brought her home she has been SO GOOD! She loved to eat! And loved to sleep even more! At 5 weeks she was sleeping through the night (I know...we were seriously spoiled). I remember visiting Lacey when she was 7 weeks old, all Lacey could say "She's like a coma baby!". Her favorite place to nap was on her tummy on the floor. She would just grunt around (Oh how I miss those cute little baby noises!). Izabelle made my "Motherhood Adjustment" so precious and enjoyable. How blessed and privileged I am to be her Mom.
Izzy still loves to eat. After visiting her Great Grandpa in Boise, Oreos are a favorite (the picture above). She LOVES to wrestle with her Dad, play with Lucy our dog, swing at the park, watch Signing Time, LOVES to love on her yellow blanky (OK it's a yellow rag) and suck her thumb. She has always been a mover but, even more so now that she is walking. She thinks all attention is hers. We are so glad she is ours! Happy Birthday Izabelle!
